Right here, right now…this is where I am. I’m not living in my future dreams, or changing any part of my past days. I’m here. Now. In the Present. And so is my God. Nothing about today surprises Him. Further, as I seek Him, obey Him, and love Him, I can be confident of this: He has me right where He wants me. If I were supposed to be doing anything else, He would have led me there or would be leading me there now. He holds that power. But for today, I am HERE, and that is right where I am supposed to be.

I think we can oh so quickly become paralyzed with the fear of the unknown. I personally have experienced fears associated with the feeling of being left behind, having not achieved certain life milestones, or even that feeling of the “glass ceiling.” But where I am, this season of life, it’s not unknown to God. He has me here, experiencing these experiences for a reason. He has a purpose…and He’s using me to fulfill it! How awesome is that!?

So, today, I am left then with a choice. I can choose to live in the now, absorb lessons being taught and pouring myself out in the here and now, or I can stress myself out over what could lie ahead. The latter is foolish. My God knows what is ahead and that’s enough for me. At the end of the day I’d rather be in His will than anywhere else.

He loves me, cares for me and provides for me. He is my portion.  Happy Valentine’s Day from one really loved girl!
